How binding in xaml? - wpf

Question

now I'm doing so Binding:
field:
private readonly RestaurantContext m_context = new RestaurantContext();
init:
m_context.Load(m_context.GetGroupQuery());
this.dataGridGroup.DataContext = m_context.Groups;
How do this in xaml ?

Answer 1

Juste expose your m_context, ensure that the class that encapsulate this property is set as the datacontext of your view and bind your dataGridGroup datacontext to your prperty.
For example :
public partial class Window1
{
public Window1()
{
InitializeComponent();
DataContext = new WindowViewModel();//this will set the WindowViewModel object below as the datacontext of the window
}
}
public class WindowViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
public void InvokePropertyChanged(PropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
PropertyChangedEventHandler handler = PropertyChanged;
if (handler != null) handler(this, e);
}
public WindowViewModel()
{
restContext = new RestaurantContext();//init 1
restContext.Load(restContext.GetGroupQuery());//init 2
InvokePropertyChanged(new PropertyChangedEventArgs("RestContext"));//notify the view th update datacontext
}
private RestaurantContext restContext;
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the RestContext (which will be vound to the datagrid datacontext)
/// </summary>
public RestaurantContext RestContext
{
get { return restContext; }
set
{
if (RestContext != value)
{
restContext = value;
InvokePropertyChanged(new PropertyChangedEventArgs("RestContext"));
}
}
}
}
/// <summary>
/// Whatever class
/// </summary>
public class RestaurantContext
{
public void Load(object getGroupQuery)
{
//Whatever here
}
public object GetGroupQuery()
{
//Whatever here
return new object();
}
IEnumerable Groups { get; set; }
}
XAML :
<Window x:Class="StackOverflow.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Window1" Width="100" Height="100" >
<Grid>
<DataGrid DataContex="{Binding RestContext.Groups}"></DataGrid>
</Grid>
</Window>

Answer 2

In your XAML:
<DataGrid x:Name="dataGridGroup" DataContext={Binding Groups} />
It will automatically bind to the Groups property of your ViewModel
